@nprofile…x759 I’m finding that legislators are increasingly missing a foundational element in their decisions: enforceability. If there’s no way to hold anyone to account (out-of-jurisdiction people and organizations, for example) then it’s really just for show and it further undermines an already tenuous faith in government as an institution.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 The Remembrance #Poppy is a multinational phenomenon, so it’s hard to see it as nationalistic, but people will be people. As for a jingoistic celebration, I have yet to see •any• element of celebration from those who choose to wear one. Perhaps others’ experience is different, but I’ve never seen it worn except with sombre reverence for the sacrifices made and the reinforced hope that we carefully weigh the costs of conflict if we can’t avoid it.

The Internet has divided itself into two main use cases: There’s the client-server model where we consume content from centralized services, and there’s the peer-to-peer model where we are need the ability to directly connect. NAT has preserved IPv4 viability for the former while sacrificing the latter. The client-server model has become the vast majority of use cases, leaving many ISPs to treat peer-to-peer requirements as corner cases. This is not good for a free and open Internet. #NetEng

Sigh. First interaction with a new contact at a customer and they spell my name wrong… in a reply to an email where my name is spelled correctly in •three• separate places: the from address, my sign-off, and my signature. What’s that about?

CEO of NVIDiA says, “AI is not going to take your job. But the person using AI will.” That’s a •really• conditional take from a super-biased source. It echoes, “Computers won’t take your job, but the person using a computer will.” Not all jobs need a computer. Fewer need #AI.

@npub1k0f…q0g2 Somehow I read that as “coarse language models” there. Now I’m wondering if there’s a market for this. #AI #LLM

Seen today:
Subscription-only software where you don’t “own” anything is especially ironic for a generation that grew up being told communism is bad because nobody owns anything.

So… I bought another AirConsole last month to replace one that went missing in the spring. Today, I was cleaning out my motorcycle saddlebags for the first leg of my #EFD2 trip and what do I find? Yep. The missing AirConsole. #Sigh #NetEng

Had a moment where I typoed “spanning tree” as “spannkng tree” and thought, “sometimes there’s some truth in a typo.” It’s right up there with accidentally typing “buggered” instead of “buffered.” #NetEng
